Error '80040e07' - Data type mismatch in criteria expression

Issue


The SQL error 80040E07 occurs when attempting to use the Insert Record or the Update Record server behavior to set the value of a Date/Time column in Microsoft Access with an empty string ("").

Reason


Access is characterized by strong data typing; it imposes a rigorous set of rules on given column values. The empty string value in the command text (SQL) cannot be stored in a field in Access that is specified to be a Date/Time data type.

Solution


This is a known issue and Macromedia's Engineers are aware of it. Currently, the only known work around available is to avoid inserting and/or updating columns of "Date/Time" data types in Access with empty strings, ("") or with any other value that does not correspond to the range of values specified for the data type.
